PHYSICIANS, or some of them,
are declaring that tea drinking is
worse than whisky drinking. As
soon as the masses can be convinc-
ed of the correctness of this they
will let up onldm and go heavier
on tea. The masses, you know,
are inclined to do things which are
declared to be wrong, merely for
the sake of being contrary.

Fork Items.

This section was visited ON last Saturday
by several light showers, which did ugood
part towards advancing the growing veg
citation, but it was not as much as there
has been in other sections, although we
should be very proud that we can have
nice, gentle showers, Willie our neighbor-
ing sections are almost destroyed by
heavy rains and tremendous hail storms.
We have not had any rains this season
that were heavy enough to wash the land
any.
The farmers have been very busy for
the last week chopping cotton, and most
of any, trying to destroy the unusual
amount of grass that put in its appearance
before the cotton was up therefore it was
in many places very firm before it was
turned up to the sun for it to do its par
but with another fine week and good
work I think they can rejoice over a
great battle won with their own hands.
The cotton where it has been worked and
plowed looks better than is usual for its
age and time of year.
There is finer crop of corn now than
ton is very good. In many places it has
had its second blowing and is planted
with peas between the hills.
The oat crop is doing fine, and if the
gentle showers continue it will be far
ahead of our expectations.
Wheat is now beginning to turn and
will soon need the harvester with his

We do not remember of ever having
seen corn and cotton grow off more rapid
" and beautifully than they have this
NAV. and the weather continues favorable
and the farmer continues to plow and
hoe. Seed-time is about over. harvest is
vet four months off, and between these
two seasons there is much to do. Here Is
another thing we feel that is due to the
credit of our farmers, which is this, we
have never seen them go and continue to
20 at work to make a crop with such
vim and determination. It is not only in
our own community BUTT is the case in
all the neighborhoods in which we go and
from which we hear Truly we do have
an industrious people. We heard an old
man say once that industry and sobriety
would make any man rich. OF course
that don't follow every time, but it is
splendid rule to SO by. Economy must
come in between the two.
It Is the general opinion that the wheat
crop will be good, at least good judges
saw that they can see no reason why it
should not as everything has been favor
able to the crop. There is no disease
whatever as we haYe heard of on the
crop. 1t is true that it is low and the
heads are short, but they are being well
filed. It is pleasant to hope for good
crop, we need it so badly.

A bee robbing was always an interesting

this culture. Mr.. Geer is worthy young
man, splendid and highly respected far

gums, and from the eight we got 16S
pounds Of we'll filled and completely
sealed comb. We have been accustomed
to this kind of work all through life, but
those of Mr.. Geer's were the richest we
ever saw. Every rack was full, and some
of them weighed five and six pounds.
We used to be opposed TO the patent
gums, but we are about ready to give up
the old ones.

The building of the S. v. R. r.. has
made it necessary to make many changes
along its line, especially near the different
stations.
The roads will be changed III many
places, and old names will be dropped
and new ones given in many instances,
and as these changes take place it is neces-
sary to adapt ourselves to them, hence we
write from the above named place, it be-
ing the name of the p. O. established at
Starr. ten miles south of Anderson. II q
multiplicity of names is any advantage to
a new town in building up, this place
certainly has that advantage, and we hope
our little town will not break down under
the load.
Refreshing showers have visited this
section recently, and everything is grow
ing luxurianty. Crops OF all kinds are
looking we'll and our farmers hopeful. It
is seldom that we see the crops as well
advanced and in as good condition as at
the present time. Already we see the ad.
vanced pickets of Gen. Green's army, and
our farmers will have to be vigilant and
make every lick tell for the next two
months.
Our section is about free from measles

The many friends Of the bereaved parents
tender them their heartfelt sympathy in
this their hour of distress.
Our Young friend, Mr.. T. w. Hall, met
with serious accident last Saturday MORN
ing. It seems he was going out to plow,
and his horse, becoming frightened at
some plows he was carrying, threw him,
and one OF his feet becoming entangled in
the chains, he was dragged some hundred
yards over very rocky road. He re-
ceived several severe wounds from the
rock, and had two or three ribs broken
by the horse kicking him as he ran. His
wounds were dressed by DR.. Speer, OF

up and about soon.

Will some one give the cause Of the bad
condition of the health of our people this
spring? The old citizens of this commu
nifty say there has not been so much sick
ness in this section since the year 1857.
Quite nt.mber of diseases are prevalent
Measles is now much less common, but
dysentery, of quite severe type, is close
in the wake of the first mentioned disease,
and makes quite an ugly complication.
These diseases, together with whooping
cough, that old shadow of measles, have
dealt roughly with both cid and young.
Typhoid fever has now made it's appear
ance among US. Truly, there must be
some peculiar condition Of the system
that makes the people unusually suscepti-
BILE to disease.
DR.. M. L. Sharpe has been with DR..
Duckworth two days assisting him in the
treatment of some serious cases, particu-
larly those of Messrs. Wilson Mullikin
and VIM. Wilson, jr. Mr.. Mullikin's was
a case demanding immediate relief, which
could not be given short OF critical as
well as painful operation; this the physi-
clans performed quite successfully. Mr..
Wilson is quite low with typhoid fever.
We are always glad to see DR.. Sharpe in
our midst. In past years he practiced
through this section, and won the conf.
dence and admiration of the people.
Hope the Doctor will come again.
DR.. Duckworth's services are constantly
in demand. He is quite popular among
his friends, and deservedly so, because he

AS you, Mr.. Editor, seem to be receiy-

The weather is now quite warm. Every
body is as busy as can be, and the merry
ring of the hoes and the lively voice of
the darkey, as he calls out .gee" and

Measles are abating in this section.
We heard it cautiously remarked not
long since that if one of our Baptist min
listers did not mind how he preached pro-
hibition, he would got thrown out of his
Church, but as all Of his hearers are not
antics, we do not think there is any prob
ability of such catastrophe. All Chris
tians arc of one mind, therefore they are
all prohibitionists; hence, God being with
them, there is not much ground left for
those who strive against a good cause.
Can any of the antics give the true mean
ing of the word anti.prohiJhionf Anti, as
we all know, means against. Beginning
from the first and tracing whiskey from
its mildest to its worst form, we find that
the man who uses it to an excess is an
offender in the sight of God. Therefore,
the anti prohibitionists we deserve their
name, for they have voluntarily taken a
position in opposition to the best interests

G The schools or BrOadaWay township

Notwithstanding the busy season with our

In company with our young friend, Dr..
S. g. Bruce who was kind enough to give
us seat in his buggy, we left the city
about II o'clock, and when we arrived on
the grounds the exercises for the day had
already commenced. A stand had been
erected and a large number of seats ar
ranged in the grove below the mill, and
everybody seemed to be deeply Interested
in the ex ercises. The stand was tasteful
ly decorated, and on one end of it stood
an organ, which was used in the rendition

showed that they had been in the hands

E. B. Murray, in the order named, each of
whom made most excellent speech on
the subject of education. Their speeches
were listened to very sttentiyely by the
audience.
The people of Broadway are thoroughly
aroused on the subject of education, and
they have three most efficient teachers in
the persons of Misses Campbell, Ander-

that we sat between pretty young lady

thought we were good hand around q
